Some of the Zalick organs are loud in praise ot the Fourteenth, because of the plausible financial exhibit of the expenses of the late legislative session but from the same standpoint would it not have been a vast deal better for the Territory had the "measly Four teeDth" not met at all?
 It is too sOon to descant on the great benefit that will Inure to Arizona by the work of .he late legislature, since the result cannot be measured until the laws enacted are published; and it IS notorious fact that some of the code laws were passed without even being read, aLd n majority of the bills were acted upon without due consid- eration. having been read over m a monotonous tone by the clerk. while members were writing, cOnversing or rDSrossed with other matters, SO that few If any members had clear idea of what they were voting upon when called tO cast their ballots.
 Again the inadequate number of clerks made 1t impossible Co keep a journal of proceedings, and many bills after numerous corrections and amendments, for the most part done in pencil, were considered enrolled and engrosssd. wi;hoa: actually going through thst necessary process, thus inviting fraud by allowing unlimited opportunity to doctor the proceedings by erssures and additions.
 When the SlO code is printed and the people are permit ed Co examine it by obliging the officials, who will re csive copies gratis, a better idea of tho work of the Fourteenth can be formed At present the fulsome praise Of some of the newspapers Is premature, Co say the least. We fear that it will bt with the Fourteenth Legislative As sembly ss Mark Antony truly said ir his eulogy over Cgessr's body.

THE Sacramento Bee notes with evil dent wonder the receipt of a bunch of well-headed barley, three and a-half Feet long, sent from Riverside, Cal., about Mateh 24;h. The CITIZEN of Feb ruary lS.h, mentioned the exhibition to party Of excnr5ionists by gentleman or this city few days previously, of punches of barley oyer five feet high, fully developed and showing the most exubersnt growth. There were whole fields Of such barley growing along the santa Cruz near the city, and il was be- ing cut for hay from the first day of February. The two circumstances are strikingly illustrative of the advantages Of the respective places, and shows that our season is fully six weeks ahead of that of Southern California.

AND it came to pass that one Thomas the scribe, went down from the wicked city upon the hills unto the river Salinas, and made purchase of leaden types and all the intricate machinery thereof whereby the glory of this new Moses might be spread abroad unto the peo- pie and they be taught subiection unto the ruler sent 10 rule over them. And thus was it fulfilled of the prophet that the compact be made strong, aud all the faithful people pay tribute thereto. And the fair city of the PhgnicIGns tremhled with fear and wept, and would not be comtorted because of the evils this imposter WAS sent to inflict upon them, And the dGy of the third W e begInneth.

J,drc David Davis. Caution.

Among President Arthur's papers there is doubtless a note which he once received from David Davis which amused hiB
 very much. It was a brief and formal letter. but the peculiar thing about it was that Mir. Davis signed his name so close to the last line that nothing could
 have been written between the lines.
 Arthur thought it very unconventional signature, especially as at nasty glance it might be overlooked. But he learned that Judge Davis always signed his name thus, Co prevent any one from filling m anything in the customary blank space. IL appeared that when be was a judge in Illinois a suit was brought before him to test the validity of a note. The ostelsi- ble maker admitted that the signature was his. but swOre he never made the note: and it was developed on trial that some rascal had taken advantage of q blank space between the termination oi a letter and the signature to iu m note of hand. which he got discounted The judge. who was a very cautious man, took a hint from this. and ever afterward signed his own name SD as Co prevent such improper use of it.-New York Sun.
